2016 is the first national U.S. election, in history, to expose campaign billionaires

by Roger Emerson
2016 is the first national U.S. election, in history, in which the intimate details of every campaign donor will be exposed to the world

By Roger Emerson -

It is a long time before the 2016 Presidential election, and already we know quite a bit about Canada Frank and his mining deals and his conflicts of interest with Hillary Clinton. We know about Hillary’s connections to Saudi investors, and who just had a baby in that Saudi family that kicked in the cash via their London investment bank.

Who does the world know this from? Facebook and social media. Not the FBI, the Wall Street Journal or the usual main-stream sources.

Who does the world know this from? Facebook and social media. Not the FBI, the Wall Street Journal or the usual main-stream sources.

Everybody now knows who is behind the, so-called, secret PAC slush-funds. These PAC’s are no longer secrets.

Everybody now knows, way, way, way, in advance of the elections; which bankers have given cash to which candidates in exchange for which promised Congressional actions for them to swap insider trading stock on.
The contribution charts and Congressional decisions for every major campaign donor are now being published everywhere. You can, clearly, see who paid, how much, for which kick-backs.

If you are a billionaire, you are now extremely, intimately, precisely and fully exposed.

If you paid cash to a candidate, that means that some other billionaires, and 50% of the United States, hates your guts for rigging the law against them. As a billionaire, oligarch and campaign manipulator; you always counted on your ability to secretly manipulate the law and public policy decisions.

No billionaire can count on that anymore.

The Democrats hate you: GOP billionaire, because you are the cash behind all their greatest angst and ennui. The Republican’s hate you: Silicon Valley billionaire, because you are the cash behind all of their worst fears.

People are killing doctors that help staff a single abortion clinic, what are those crazies going to do when they find out you, Mr. Billionaire, are funding ALL of the abortion clinics. Greenpeace activists ram their boats into a single oil tanker, to try to stop drilling. What are they going to do when they find out that you, Mr. Other Billionaire are funding ALL of the oil drilling. Hackers go after one ISP that tries to support “net neutrality”, what are they going to do: Billionaire Eric Schmidt, when they find out you bought and paid for, the entire FCC “net neutrality” decision?

From the venerable Sunlight Foundation, to The Transparency Center, to The Center For Investigative Journalism, to upstarts like Total Out, and others, the “Age of Transparency” is a highly refined machine.
Billionaires are well-known to be arrogant pricks, but they are also well-known to be secretive.

Snowden, Assange, Greenwald, The Guardian, RT News, Greenwald, every Chinese and Russian hacker, Guccifer, Anonymous, Wikileaks, Lizard Squad and, you-name-it, has already scoured every data base in your, poorly, secured gold-embossed billionaire MacBook. These hackers have been through the White House, The OPM, The Bohemian Club, Stanford, Yale, and every investment bank FOR YEARS.

They appear to have it all.

You have seen some juicy bits come out, from the Snowden leaks, but, remember, almost all of these leakers are, more than anything else: Media entities.

They have a sense of timing and the dramatic.

They are not going to blow their wads when the big election is not, yet, getting all of the attention of the public? No, not theses savvy alternative media-ists.

Leakers, Whistle-blowers and the Media like to get their bang for their buck. They time things to get the most impact. Leaker mouth-piece extraordinaire: Glenn Greenwald, always times his releases to meet media schedules, slow news day openings and topical opportunities.

You can bet your bottom dollar (or bottom billion dollars in your case, Mr. Billionaire) that the big shockers are being saved for a few months before the 2016 U.S. Election.

Famous political names, that are now thought to be in the lead position, may suddenly disappear, over-night, with the revelation of organized crime kick-back emails, homosexual escorts and Bill Cosby-esque misdeeds.

This 2016 election, may be one of the most epically interesting elections in history.

Let’s keep an eye out for the fun!
